Psalm of the day

Psalm 66

[1] Shout for joy to The One In Charge, all the earth;

[2] sing the glory of the name of The One In Charge;
give glorious praise!

[3] Say to The One In Charge, How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.

[4] All Internet users worship you
and sing praises to you;
they sing praises to your name. Selah

[5] Come and see what The One In Charge has done:
awesome are the deeds of The One In Charge toward end users.

[6] Into amazingly fast throughput did The One In Charge turn sluggish wireless service; so that we might download files with incredible speed.
Even there at the cafe did we rejoice in The One In Charge,

[7] who rules Internet providers by might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the networks—
let not the rebellious service providers exalt themselves. Selah

[8] Bless The One In Charge, O peoples;
let the sound of praise be heard,

[9] who has kept our computers among the living
and has not let our Internet connections slip.

[10] For you, O One In Charge, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.

[11] You brought us into the net of committee meetings;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

[12] you let our supervisors ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

[13] I will come into your house with completed reports;
I will perform my vows to you,

[14] that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was up against a deadline.

[15] I will offer to you presentations of robust analysis,
with the scent of the sacrifice of random sampling;
I will make an offering of spreadsheets and flowcharts. Selah

[16] Come and hear, all you who fear The One In Charge,
and I will tell what The One In Charge has done for my soul.

[17] I cried to The One In Charge with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.

[18] If I had cherished Microsoft Vista in my heart,
The One In Charge would not have listened.

[19] But truly The One In Charge has listened;
and attended to the voice of my prayer.

[20] Blessed be The One In Charge,
who has not rejected my prayer
nor removed a steadfast love from me!

Psalm of the Day

Psalm 103

[1] Bless The One In Charge, O my computer,
and all that is within it,
bless the holy name of The One In Charge!

[2] Bless The One In Charge, O my hard disk,
and forget not all the benefits you receive,

[3] who forgives all your fragmentation,
who heals all your viruses,

[4] who redeems your fatal errors from the pit,
who crowns you with a speedy CPU,

[5] who satisfies you with good partitions
so that your RAM is refreshed like the eagle’s.

[6] The One in Charge works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed with old software.

[7] The ways of cloud computing were made know to Microsoft,
and the acts of The One In Charge to the people at Intel.

[8] The One In Charge is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

[9] The One In Charge will not always chide,
nor withhold anger forever.

[10] The One In Charge does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.

Psalm 8

[1] O One In Charge, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

[2] Out of the mouth of babes and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

[3] When I look at your servers, the work of your fingers,
the mainframes and the super computers, which you have set in place,

[4] what are end users that you are mindful of us,
and our startups that you care for them?

[5] Yet you have made our IT entrepreneurs a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned them with glory and spectacular IPOs.
